Traceur is a JavaScript.next-to-JavaScript-of-today compiler that allows you to use features from the future today. Traceur supports ES6 as well as some experimental ES.next features. Traceur's goal is to inform the design of new JavaScript features which are only valuable if they allow you to write better code. Traceur allows you to try out new and proposed language features today, helping you say what you mean in your code while informing the standards process. JavaScript's evolution needs your input. Try out the new language features. Tell us how they work for you and what's still causing you to use more boilerplate and "design patterns" than you prefer. You can use some language features right now and even try it out in your browser here. Just type in some code and see what Traceur produces.
Features
- Takes ECMAScript Edition 6 (ES6) (including classes, generators, destructuring and much more) and compiles it down to regular Javascript
- You can try Traceur by typing or pasting ES6 code into the Read-eval-print-loop page
- Include Traceur in a Web page and compile ES6 script content on the fly
- Use node to compile ES6 to ES5 offline and include the result in Web pages or just run the result in node
- Traceur itself is written in ES6, compiled to ES5
